I ran check-in for a few crypto-conventions. We're missing full-body morph suits, dollar-sign sunglasses and proud boys uniforms.

Yeah! I didn't know until I visited with a friend of Gary Dealy (nicknamed Big Deal.) They have framed photos of the whole process. You should ask about it if you're in there, Gary told us the whole story. Very nice, cool, hilarious people.
I knew that penis wasn't nearly big enough (for this model.)
Oh he's in there, under "Representations" if ya'll want to see some homoncudick.
Ever heard of Big Deal Custom Cases? They're a company in Winnipeg, Manitoba who started out making road cases for musicians before diversifying into laptops, field equipment, basically anything breakable anyone needed to carry from one place to another.
Imagine what they thought when NASA phoned them up to build giant cases to carry the sails for the James Webb Space Telescope from the manufacturer to their headquarters.
No prob, just happen to be putzing around and remembered what a pain it was to figure that out. Have fun!
Okay, so, the instructions aren't super clear.
For a comment you click on the rainbow fediverse icon to get to the page with the right link, because the URL needs to be the commenter's home instance. Copy/paste the URL, select "comment" and submit. It should bring you to a list of up and down votes, who made them, and when.
For vote history, it's just wren@lemmy.today for me, for example. Select user, submit.
Posts need to be from the poster's home instance as well, same deal, hit the rainbow coloured icon to get the link.
Newer stuff might not be federated yet, so you may get an error or not see the most updated info. Users with a lot of votes will take a minute or more to load as well.
Votes are relevant here in a different way, without the karma. They still show support and engagement, what's popular kind of thing. Lots of downvotes can trigger a report or bots can be made to remove comments below a threshold for review.
Lemmy is big on transparency, or working toward it. Right now mods of a community can easily see who voted on every post and comment in their communities, which is helpful for tracking vote manipulation. Lemvotes is just an extra step so everyone can see it. I like it because it holds mods accountable, too, they can't just make shit up when no one can verify it.
All good. Thanks for being helpful :)
Was there something wrong with the alt link?
Have you met academics? Dollar signs was working on a PhD and at least one morph suit was in neurology, studying psilocybin.
